[quote=Anonymous]People need to quit whining and accept that the county can no longer afford to offer all these choices to families. The choice schools need to be converted into neighborhood schools. Kenmore needs to be converted into a high school. Just get on with it. 
--------------------
I agree completely.  The choice schools are causing the problems - especially those choice schools with capped or semi capped enrollment, or those that have not put on additions when they have the land to do so.  We don't need choice to balance enrollment.  Choice has compounded the enrollment inequity problem. Once you add another choice school, you cannot eliminate it, and it is somewhat protected from taking additional students (compared that what other schools are forced to absorb). Our overcrowding situation would not be as bad if we just had neighborhood schools.  ATS would have been built onto years ago and would not one of the smallest (enrollment-wise) schools that we have.  We would have been able to add onto or redevelop Stratford years ago so that Swanson would not be a sea of trailers.  Neighborhood schools allow more flexibility overall - no program or facility is protected over any other.  The pain is more evenly disbursed among everyone.  It is more fair to all.     [/quote]
